It's amazing how stupid, craven, and/or brainwashed these people are. Algorithms aren't magical cure-alls. Also, what algorithms? I doubt there's anything real there, just some blind blundering through federal systems and databases. Again, we're so fucked.

It’s lace for #showmeyourknits day today. Looking through my projects, I realized it’s been a while since I knit something really lacy, but here are some past projects: 1) Rosewater; 2) Bridgewater; and 3) Madli’s Shawl

I have a great idea! Maybe crack an egg into a frying pan, and say that the frying egg is like your brain on drugs. And for a slogan, may I suggest "Just say no to drugs"?

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes Trump has already checked off.

This is a lot of words that can be summed up simply: “Because they’re racists themselves and the animating principle of this administration is white supremacy” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/o...

At this point I believe Trump would try to rescind the Emancipation Proclamation if he thought he could do it

Undercurrent??? The racism is in blinking neon lights, FFS. To be fair, the article is less wishy washy than the headline, but still… www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

If you take down a Confederate memorial that was literally dedicated to promote white supremacy, that’s “erasing history.” But if you hide pictures of accomplished women, that’s just fighting wokeness.

Love that our news-monitoring anxiety options are: a) take little sips of poison all day long, try to shake it off between doses b) wait to chug a gallon of the stuff until end of day or in the morning c) ignore it entirely and be surprised when Trump-branded tanks roll down your street oh no

Why doesn't anyone just call out this craziness? The cult-like language? Why do they treat this as legitimately up for discussion?

Oh, honey . . . not so "deep undercover at Bluesky" now. The Bluesky account is @therealblueskylibs.bsky.social and I just blocked it. I encourage you to do the same. The account this nasty person uses on Twitter to childishly mock screen-caps of progressive posts on Bluesky is here:

At least for the moment national publications are radically understating the contents of Matthew Livelsberger's political minifestos which call for a violent, militia-backed "culling" of Dems from and national rebirth of masculinity under the rule of Trump ... talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/why-a...
